Safeguarding Team
Our Safeguarding Governor is Heather Hanlon.
Part of their role is to challenge our procedures and policies, ensuring that we are effectively safeguarding all of our pupils.
If you or a child is in immediate danger, phone the Police on 999.
We all have a statutory duty to report any incidents where we have cause to suspect that a child is suffering or likely to suffer from significant harm.
Neglect, Sexual/Physical/ Emotional Abuse
Report the allegation immediately via CPOMS which will alert the DSL Team
If the event occurs out of school hours, contact MASH on 0330 222 7799 or email lscb@westsussex.gov.uk or call 999.
You can also contact the Headteacher or Chair of Governors if you have concerns about a member of staff.
Finally, the West Sussex LADO can be contacted (See the TAS Safeguarding policy for details).
